Sounds like a form of autism. Missed social clues and lack of social mores.

z-da, good point. It makes perfect sense.

I believe you are correct Z-Da! Yesterday at lunch, I was seated across from a lunch buddy and we were chatting with two others at our table. There wasn't any room for more than us there. We were half way through our meal and she pushes herself over and tells the gal across from me to "MOVE OVER"!. She had grabbed a chair and wanted to sit at the table next to me though the table was small and only seated four. The gal said "no". So Ms. Loud, pushes herself next to me. She doesn't understand or won't understand that people have personal boundaries and there are reasons they don't inter-act with her. She proceeded to tell everyone who could hear here (which were many) that she was turned down by some organization she belongs to, for an event she wants to steer. No wonder, they have approached me and let me know they don't like her for reasons I've mentioned and others. I hadn't thought about autism but the other things you mention have been. Makes sense.

DepGlass - Why do you want to start the mud slinging? I just asked if anyone knew anything about what I am currently going through and you have to start with your unkind takes. No, I am not a martyr and I am one poster who allows differing views but the post was on a situation, not me and my take as this is a unique situation to me. I know you are the depression glass lady who offers many good ideas on the items and I am surprised to read you can't understand the gist of this thread.

Purple Bunny - I didn't think I was making my mission or responsibility one who is trying to, in your writing 'help her'. Where did you get that?

Boy, these posts get stranger and stranger everyday. The first thing that comes to my mind is that she has hearing loss. That's commonly the first manifestation of hear loss; someone who speaks very loudly. She's not family and not a friend; so, you can't approach her about this. She's bound to take offense. Having said that, it's pretty obvious that op doesn't care for the woman and her tone of voice is just an excuse. The post just "oozes" with nastiness.

I haven't read all of the responses but do have a question.

If everybody is a professional ..why is your husband going to be the one to answer the phone and warn her away from you?

How is that going to work with everybody volunteering together? Wouldn't it be the adult thing to do to either ignore her calls or just tell her you have limited time and cannot chat?

No, I don't have an emotional take on the woman one way or another. I've been approached to tell her she offends and I don't think it's my place.'

YOU have been nasty in many threads you write on the various forums - I think you are a man who just writes to get his jollies here and there. You have your reputation and you continue to be ugly. No post you have written to many threads is ever kind, positive, supportive or understanding. You are the nasty one and many other unkind words that apply. I don't think you have many friends in the outside world or are liked by many. Maybe, like the woman I've mentioned YOU are a lot like her.

I think she's drawn to your personal magnetism. It's a curse.

Coupon Queen - Meant to reply sooner. My husband is sometimes home and will answer the phone before I can. She has affected my health and he wants her to stop. I like your take on letting her know about the limited time and so on...the professionals are all retired and we work together doing volunteer work.

Rough Draft - Are you being funny? I am the last person who is even courteous to that person. I think the others can do the job of confronting her and letting the supervisors know - again - and I will just ignore her but will keep in mind she may be autistic in some form or another.
